You're talking about changing Py\_ssize\_t, right?

wouldn't that be the pointer size?

Is there a "long" in there anywhere in the integer implementation?

My example is this:

on OS-X, py3.5:

import numpy as np

In \[9\]: arr = np.array(\[1,2,3\])

Out\[10\]: array(\[1, 2, 3\])

In \[11\]: arr.dtype

Out\[11\]: dtype('int64')

I don't have py3 running on win64 anywhere right now, but in win64 py2, that would give you:

dtype('int32')

as it's a "long" under the hood

(and I'm pretty sure that is not because of numpy code itself, but rather how Cpython is written/compiled)

Does py3 already use int64?
